Hi, Devon,
This idea is a great idea. Congratulate the person who assigned it. You
will be forever greatful to yourself for what you did it. I would suggest
that you purchase a 3 ring binder for your materials and make an index as you
put it together. Now the question of where to find materials.
I would advise you to joing the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
The cost is $28-35 for students. You then receive 9 monthly Mathematics
Teacher magazines or Middle School Teacher magazines. It is your choice. In
each magazine there is an activity section. The materials only have to be
duplicated.
As a member of NCTM you will receive the Newsletter four times a year. In
each of these there is a pull out four page activity what is generally
independent of course level content. By that I mean that the instructions
are such that it can be done by different course levels. The material is
self presented. I have almost 25 years of these in a binder. Yes, I have
used these. Each year I stick two for each course that I teach in
anemergency folder that a sub can use.
Electronically you can go to lesson plan sites such as
http://www.iit.edu/~smile/mathinde.html
or
http://mathforum.org/teachers/high/lessons-individual.html
Find something that interests you, run it off and file it.
If you use technology in your courses, go to the Texas Instrument site for
some other lesson plans:

Happy searching.
